Radiator Question

Installing everything on my new superior radiator. This has 2 inlets in bottom, one on left side and one on the right side. Another inlet in the top right. Are the bottom 2 for the trans lines? Or is the bottom right and top for the trans? Is the other one then just plugged? Trans is a 700r4. I know it may be a silly question to some of you but has me scratching my head. Thanks. Pic attached.

Re: Radiator Question

Re: Radiator Question

If you aren't running an automatic I'd just plug the trans cooler holes. There are plugs made for flair tubing fittings like that that you can get. That will keep the cooler clean if at a later date it gets used with an automatic.

Running automatic. If it was just me I would have a stick. But the better half wants to drive it also. 😉
